      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great compensation, great co-workers, excellent benefits, annual bonus available to most corporate professionals. Top compensation for top talent. Growing tech company with access to latest technology, generally no expense sparred to ensure you have latest tech tools to do your job.

      Cons

      Continually re-organizing the business, managers and senior leadership usually hired externally, requiring individuals to move on to move up. Tend to focus too closely on short-term issues rather than adding true long-term value, adding to continuous volatility of business.
